-- obama, bush, bill clinton and george h.w. bush. first to you, michael. how exclusive is this club? >> well, only five people can join it. what's interesting is that we elect the members, they don't, which is a little bit different than most clubs. we think of our presidents as one at a time. we elect them one at a time, we cover them one at a time. we write books about them one at a time. what nancy and i thought is let's pair them up. we all know in our lives that relationships matter. we thought if we held them up in pairs and shined a light on that we'd learn something about the men and the presidency. and we discovered that the club is a place where there are partnerships, there are rivalries, sometimes there's sabotage and there's redemption, too. they all come out of that office with scars and regrets. gwen: and secrets, and a surprising amount of bishopship. >> especially after they've left the presidency. it's almost like they rediscovered politics. it's hard to become bipartisan in the last 15 or 20 years. if you go back to hoover and truman, there were moments where men

the trajectory of america in way that richard nixon did not. in a way bill clinton did not. he put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. >> reagan, the patron saint of american conservative was a transformational president according to barack obama, more successful than in the recently successful democratic president, bill clinton. when obama said that, the strategy was pretty clear. mr. obama was diminishing the impact of bill clinton and taking a shot at nominating another clinton and trying to appeal to moderates and liberals who wanted their own transformational leader. o praising reagan is part of what is a common trend now. happens a lot presidents controversial become unifying icons in retrospect. the rallying around the retiree becomes selective forgetting. we forget who they were and forget about the things that divided them when they were in office. the nation's 39th president found himself seemingly out of nowhere in this presidential race just a month ago. >> you would have given the order, governor? >> even jimmy carter would have give

the raising of the issue regarding bill clinton and how close he is to the obama campaign. what was the gist of your argument today? >> well, i thought it was very odd if not amusing that mitt romney has been going around this week praising bill clinton and at the same time criticizing obama, saying essentially, romney shares clinton's values and doesn't share obama's. he is doing that obviously because the polls are showing that in the light of nostalgia, bill clinton is very popular, particularly among those voters romney wants to take away from obama, those male mostly white, mostly southern or midwestern voters, but the problem is that bill clinton really is not somebody who reflects romney's values. i mean i was there. i was in the clinton administration. i was in charge of bill clinton's economictrition team in 1992, before he even became president. and i know bill clinton raised taxes. bill clinton raised taxes in a way that generated a much larger revenue share of the economy from government than we have had since. in fact, right now govern

the conversation at the fiscal summit from the key players, a bipartisan group including president bill clinton, treasury secretary timothy geithner, house budget committee chair paul ryan, house speaker john boehner, alan simpson, and what i heard from awful them is a bipartisan call for action and alarm. >> the next into years could be the most consequential two years we see in washington and have seen in the last 50 or 60 years. >> and interest rates will go up so fast you won't be able to catch your breath. >> how much? how much are they going snup some wall street investors, the most bearish, say americans could relive the late '70s, early '80s. one investor told me he's mauking big bets in the treasury market, 17% for a mortgage. that may be incredibly dire, but it's happened before. debt on debt on debt means interest on interest on interest. so we did the numbers. current projections from the cbo say the u.s. will spend, prepare yourself for this one, $624 billion in interest in ten years. we will spend more on interest than on medicaid in six. this is absolutely not okay. i interviewed
